At the bike shop i more or less hang out at, ran into a bud who said, "I'm starvin' man, let's go get a burger."
This is a guy who owns a business that cuts down trees and grinds out the stumps for a living, and is no stranger to physical labor. I said Sure, I could eat, so off we went. He mentioned a place, but I didn't know where it was, so we headed west on Jacksboro Hwy, and headed, and headed, and headed. At a light, I said This burger better be good! He assured me it was, and off went for more westing. One great thing, there was very little traffic on this two-lane hwy, and thru North Texas it was a nice ride of 45 miles. The burger was great.
I used to ride from Chandler to north Phoenix for my favorite burritos and queso dip. About 30 miles on my old CBR900RR. On the trip home I'd open it up a bit if it was late and there was no traffic.
There was a group of guys in the Phoenix area during that period of my life that would ride to San Diego for breakfast and then come home the same day. About 300 miles one way. Speed limits were merely a suggestion I think.

I'm beyond burgers...
Samoa Cookhouse (Eureka, CA) - served family style (AYCE) in logger camp kitchen with long tables https://www.samoacookhouse.net/menu
First trip to Samoa Cookhouse was during Worlds Fair motorcycle trip from Colorado (Spokane) '74 ~800 miles out of the way (one-way). (2) riders... "Do you like Cream pie, or fruit pie?" Actually we each preferred different, so we ended up getting (2) full pies... and we ate them (of course), then we came back for breakfast, then we decided to stay and do laundry so we could come back for lunch. Haven't had to eat that much since then ! (49 yrs so far)
Many subsequent trips to Samoa (especially for french toast breakfast days).
WAY out of the way (200+ miles). Slept in the parking lot more than a few time to be first in line for Breakfast.
Went again, to the Red Feather Cafe in Ocotillo. The Smitty Burger did not disappoint. 245 mile 'round trip.
I had crazy insulin spikes just looking at that photo!
